Understood and agreed, but now that you mention it, maybe you should put together a team of regulars that you can trust to do a good job, using your guidelines, to help out only during those times when the forum is getting out of control. Just a thought, and one that I'm sure you have considered. >Do I adopt a hard line Democratic/liberal/whatever you want to call it >view? Or do I adopt a >conservative view?

Don't take ANY crap from ANYONE. >It would be very nice if Sheryl clarified her position on all of this. Agreed. Rather than wear the occasional t-shirt, or make brief statements at award shows, I'd like to see her hold a press conference, or sit down and do a one-on-one with a good interviewer that will ask tough questions. >Come to the site when it re-opens and help us keep it open. >Gregg. See you there. I know everyone appreciates your efforts. Keep up the good work.

I got a PM asking me to pass along the word that if the forum is down for an extended period of time, you can sign on to any interscope artist site, like No Doubt or the Counting Crows, log in and check & send PMs. That way you'll know what's going on in the future. You can put me on your PM list if you're not familiar with it. My screen name there is mystery79 Gregg the moderator's is SCModerator, although in times like that, I wouldn't count on him being able to reply to everyone's messages. So if you already know a couple of people on the forum, try them first. The word of mouth will get to you. Plus if I know the forum is down for that reason I (or Gregg if he wishes) will let you all know about it here. - -Phyllis ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2003 19:05:41 EST From: Diannesty@aol.com Subject: [sheryl-crew] You people are all world! Thank you Gregg, John, Chris, & Phyllis. Gregg - you really have alot to deal with and like Chris said thank you we really appreciate all your hard work. Chris - that email you just sent out out was very funny but also the suggestion that Sheryl meet with a tough interviewer was a great idea. John - Your computer knowledge is a huge turn on. Phyllis - Thanks for your information about the other sites. I thought your survey idea was cool. Other names that come to mind are Bridgitte, Hanskee (Crystal) ,Judith(Iwannabeshezza) & Dee(Mommerson). Thank you all for emailing frequently. Without you guys I would be totally clueless. I know there are alot more of you out there (I feel like I am making an award speech or something) thanks to you guys too. If anything good came of this it's that there is some more action on the mailing list.
